🚨 Here we go again! X4.05 flare detected from AR4274! 🚨 Although the active region is rotating towards the limb it continues to produce major flares. Proton flux measurements are also showing an increase. AR4274 keeps delivering!☀️

There is now a G5 (extreme) geomagnetic storm watch in place (Met Office), we are waiting for the third eruption to arrive although, due to uncertainty in the propagation models it is unclear whether it will arrive today or tomorrow 🌞💨🌎👀 #SpaceWeather #Aurora #StephsStormWatch

CME arrival!🎯 Real-time solar wind data from ACE at L1 showing the first CME from AR4274 is arriving.⚡
This is the start of a long geomagnetic storming period - aurora chasers, get ready! 👀🌌

Here’s our one-two-three punch! 🥊 🥊🥊 According to the latest run of the HUXt model the third CME is expected to impact on 13th November at around 13 UT. This is going to be a tiring couple of days 😅 #SpaceWeather #StephsStormWatch

🚨Storm Watch Upgraded! 🚨 G4 (severe) geomagnetic storm watch now in place for 12th November. This is due to the predicted arrival of the third CME. Aurora likely visible further south across the UK (weather permitting)! 🌞💨🌍 #SpaceWeather #StephsStormWatch

🚨 X5.1 FLARE from AR4274! 🚨
Active Region 4274 just unleashed an X5.1 solar flare - one of the strongest of the current solar cycle! ⚡The flare was associated with another full halo earth-directed CME ☀️ This AR keeps on giving!

🚨 G3 (strong) geomagnetic storm watch in effect from 18:00 UT tonight! 🚨 Two Earth-directed CMEs from AR4274 arriving late Tues/Wed⚡Aurora visible across north UK with clear skies, potentially extending further south 🌌 #SpaceWeather #StephsStormWatch #Aurora weather.metoffice.gov.uk/specialist-f...

📊 Latest HUXt forecast shows 2 CMEs from AR4274 arriving on 12 Nov at ~4 & 15UT respectively. AR4274 is delivering a one-two punch!⚡️🥊 G2+ storm conditions increasingly likely. Aurora prospects strong for northern UK despite poor weather forecast.

Now that we have the coronagraph data from GOES/CCOR I can now confirm that the CME is a full halo, which means it is Earth-directed. This increases the chances of a stronger geomagnetic storm and impressive aurora displays. Stay tuned! 🌞💥💨🌎 #SpaceWeather #StephsStormWatch

🚨 AR4274 just fired off another X-class flare! ⚡
CME confirmed, main bulk doesn't appear Earth-directed, though it's difficult to determine atm. If AR4274 keeps this up... are we heading for a situation similar to May 2024? Keep watching 👀

The X1.8 flare from AR4274 did produce a CME! While the bulk of the eruption appears to be propagating northwest, there is likely an Earth-directed component 🌍 Waiting for the models to understand propagation & arrival ⚡

🚨 What we have been waiting for. AR 4274 just unleashed an X1.8 solar flare! 💥 We will have to wait and check the data to see if this beast erupted and if there's an Earth-directed CME heading our way 🌞💨🌍
Updates to follow!
